Lunch Time Thoughts About Spiders

Have you ever thought about how many spiders there are currently crawling vehemently, hanging tentatively from web strings, or laying tiny eggs in the pores of your carpet? It’s an interesting thought. Some might say creepy. Spiders used to freak me out, too, but now I think they’re kind of fascinating. One crawled up onto the table I was eating my lunch on today, and I just put my fork down and stared at it. Its little legs, almost mechanical in they’re precise, choreographed movements across the checkerboard table cloth. Then it went away, and I resumed eating my lunch.
